Users will occasionally come up against some issues using the InnoCaption app. The most common technical issues users experience include audio issues, such as not being able to hear the caller's voice or vice versa, hearing garbled sound, static, an echo, or robotic sounds. The issues also include the app being unresponsive, and seeing a spinning sign or a "wait for ready" message that won't go away.
These issues can usually be resolved by restarting your phone or router. Generally, home wifi routers and modems need to be rebooted once in a while to resolve buffering and delay issues.
For any technical or connectivity issues you experience with the InnoCaption app, we highly recommend you take the following steps:
- Restart your phone. To do this, press and hold the power button, then select Power Off. Wait one minute then turn the phone back on by holding the power button again
- Reactivate the InnoCaption app. For step by step graphics on how to reactivate, click here: How to reactivate the app
